The Government of Ontario, through the Office of the Prime Minister and the Department of Municipal Affairs, promoted the creation of the Toronto Area Committee to provide some focus for the submissions to the Ontario Municipal Board as it examined conflicting applications for the reorganization of the Toronto area.
The Committee ceased to function following the production of a report which recommended the adoption of a metropolitan form of government for the area.
